Man learned about a place where families send their daughters accused of improper behavior

The very fact that you have brought this tragedy to light is phenomenal. May we pray that these types of institutions never exist again.

Good people do good things, and bad people do bad things. But for good people to do bad things, it takes Religion.

Cillian Murphy is a top class actor. Really looking forward to 28 years later

[@dezznugget1173]

Yes he is . He was amazing in openheimer and peaky blinders. I call him unicorn 🦄 cause he is super gorgeous too 😍

[@Jamietheroadrunner]

He has a gigantic hit with Oppenheimer and he could have cashed in with $20 million dollar pay days doing mainstream action crap, but goes right back to indie films instead. Respect!

[@HelenL2-b1i]

Cillian is truly amazing actor and always in great movies too. This is some hell of a movie too. I'm so glad he took her home 🙏🏼🕊️🙏🏼🕊️🙏🏼

That was a long time that the place was open for. Long suffering. May the girls and children find peace.

[@zoyadulzura7490]

Curious to know how many of those children were reunited with their mothers. Surely some of them found a way, despite the efforts to separate them.

[@Shridra]

@@zoyadulzura7490 should watch Philomena. Takes on this very subject.

[@greatgownsbeautifulgowns]

​@@zoyadulzura7490 Unfortunately many of them were never reunited with their biological mothers or families because a lot of times in the cases of those "Magdalene Laundries" or "Houses for Fallen Women" as they would call them, they were ran by the Catholic Church and the church would purposely destroy records. A lot of those children were put up for adoption and shipped off far away from their places of origin--or even off to other countries unbeknownst to their biological mothers and families. Sometimes parents would find their children after it was too late and the child had passed away, or vice versa. A lot of times those girls were treated horribly and physically and s. egz ully @. ß * sed by the priest and the nuns at those places. There are books you can read on the subject but if you want to watch a few movies on the subject that are based on real life events and people, go watch 'Philomena', 'The Magdalene Sisters' and 'Oranges and 'Sunshine'.

Cillian should seriously get an Oscar for this one too. The end of the movie is so heart wrenching. You have no idea what happens. The Magdalene Sisters is another film that takes on those depraved, cruel, nuns. This film is softer, but no less frightening.

[@MMM-zc3oq]

This was so sad. It's still the case that women are far more likely to be punished for "indecency" when their male partners rarely face punishment

[@stringbeanii]

healing energy to all those girls and women,that were finally freed from those twisted nuns in those wretched places. some were "freed" through death, like the mass grave they found in the mother and baby home in tuam. r.i.p. many of those girls were there because they'd been abused, which, according to those in power then, the church, was their fault - when it never was.

[@daniellegilmore541]

So well said.

[@kristinesharp6286]

The gov sent them there. Relatives took them there even when parents okay with it.

[@LittleYoki]

Dang 1998?? That’s not even that long ago geez

[@ginmar8134]

Women weren't unequivocally allowed on US juries till, finally, 1994, when a prosecutor used all his strikes to come up with an all-female jury. There'd been court cases for decades, but prior to the 70s, the mere idea of women on juries aroused raging contempt.

[@tablescissors]

Yet many men (of all kinds) will still scream that women are absolutely equal and have zero entitlement to anything like “reparations”. Not that this is a functional solution to anything, but the historical injustices of women are just outright dismissed.

[@stringbeanii]

those magdelene laundries were evil , and as you said, 1998 is not even that long ago for that to be going on. the government gives a repartition of some measly amount to them, something like 38 a week -i could be wrong on the amount, either way, it's not enough for the torment they were put through.

[@leilanigreenwood5064]

Sinaid O'Connor was sent there as a teenager, I read about

[@sarahcavazos-nb4ps]

Wow this is a true story so sad! Shame on the Catholic Church! I’m pregnant right now and I can’t handle so much I can’t imagine doing labor evil judgmental people, what you did wasn’t what God wanted. He is merciful kind FORGIVING and compassionate. What is wrong with people. Dang I’m mad!

[@vickysviews4242]

Sad to think they're still doing this today to young girls and boys 😢

[@CitizenCan]

they're catholics, what do you expect?

[@tablescissors]

Citizen - the issue is global and it’s a male-focused problem. Certainly women having multiple abortions before they’re even thirty - as if it’s literally just birth control isn’t a viable solution either; many women are even causing themselves serious bodily harm and sterilizing themselves by doing so (despite there being a great deal of access to various forms of genuine birth control, including FREE from public health sources in many regions).

[@carolinebcollier]

The Magdalen Sisters. A very hard movie to watch. The actress who plays his wife Eileen is actually in that film too.

[@dancingnature]

The thing that scares me is the USA seems to want to mistreat young women like this again .

[@GlasPthalocyanine]

They aren't the only ones though. Every misogynist on the planet would watch this, and get sentimental about the good old days.

[@rustyhowe3907]

And far too many over there are in denial there's a problem with going ahead on such cruelties, some have told me it's perfectly fine and legit to arrest a woman for miscarriage as they consider it the 'abort-word' even if it was unintentional.

It just pains me to see and learn of what the church has done in the name of Christianity. There has been documentation of babies and children killed or sold by Nuns. And, the Church covering up these acts. Doesn't the Bible, GOD's WORD, teach of grace and mercy. Baby's are born innocent.❤❤❤
